Our Latest Finished Piece!

Indeed it has been a while since last updating the communityKNIT blog....but that doesn't mean there hasn't been some sticks clicking away out there in the community. I have collected two finished scarves since December and have worked to weave in the many ends and block out the garments so that it can be eventually worn by one happy bidder who appreciates community hand work.

Pictured here is our latest creation together....a thick, wooly multi-colored scarf that grew bigger and bigger and, like the last one, could also be used as a mini-shawl. The craft on this recent community edition features cabling, fair-isle knitting, and unique patterns worked in intricate ways. When I think of all the hands that stopped to knit on this one piece, it gives me goose-bumps! Thank you to all who knitted together and contributed their talents!

I am finishing up the tucking of tails on our last green/blue/grey scarf that was worked up at Anodyne in January/February....will be featured here soon! Keep sharing with us you knits and purls!

About Community KNIT

The Community KNIT project is created to promote the idea of community working together creatively through craft and hand-made items. A series of strangers at random times knitting with their style and their craft in public cafes. In the end, we together create one finished piece that becomes a reflection of all the hands involved.
The goal, is ten community-knitted scarves by Spring 2010 which will be auctioned off to raise funds for a local charity.
Support us by stopping in to knit a few rows or a bunch of rows, donate yarn left over from your own knitting projects, and in the Spring keep watching for our auction of ten beautiful community-created scarves!
